Haha. And we're going to let the government decide what is "correct" and "accurate"?

Ok, so how did all this unchecked exposure to propaganda workout for Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Palestine etc? Did it lead to some kind of "free thinking" utopia?

Free speech hasn't been banned in Israel. Access to information hasn't been banned. What has been banned is a platform for foreign agents to easily negative influence their populace and to broadcast nonsense en masse to their people.

If any Al Jazeera staff who have a residency permit want to walk the streets and discuss things their passionate about to other people, it will be allowed. But it won't be allowed if it turns out their being paid to do so by a foreign government. It's no different.

Sorry to say this, but you have yet offered a sane alternative here.

We can't just have autocrats from foreign countries broadcasting nonsense, unabated to whoever wants to listen, else our society will look no different to those dystopias.

Domestic free speech within a democracy is one thing, foreign interference is another.
more dystopian.
yet another "contribution" of AI for destroying the society via misinformation.

On this topic, what do you use for logging?

I use Strong. It’s free to log and works perfectly. It costs to get all the graphs and I found it to be too expensive for what it is. But it has a free export function to csv, so I’m making my own PowerBI dashboard. Just have to export once a month to see the progress for example of max weight, calculated 1RM, (max) volume per exercise.

Looking for alternatives tho.
Quite. It sounds like they only got there in the first place because normally astronauts are given half their bodyweight in antibiotics to prevent exactly this from happening. And it did. Except for the drug resistant ones.

Question is: will it mutate into something which is no longer drug resistant? And is there any compelling reason for it to do so?
RE "...I don't know where your part of the world is, but this is an article about the US market on a US website....." Article does not say that. After several paragraphs it could be implied with mention of LLC ? There is also examples given of Venia . So I would not say exclusively about US at all. And I just say , lots people claiming its good money , quite profitable, so we can look forward to lots new investors that are attracted to this profitability.... but it does not seem to happen. Why?
First, to your earlier point that my comment was factually incorrect and that AM is is incredibly inefficient. I was not comparing or even discussing modulation techniques here, that's a totally separate matter, in fact I agree with your comment.

The point I was making is that AM is not only simple (a crystal set/germanium diode will demodulate it) but more importantly it is the 100+ years of experience and especially the huge amount of existing AM infrastructure throughout the world including millions of car radios—including those in undeveloped countries which is important—that are key to why there's a push to maintain the service through legislation. I've already made comments to that effect in other posts so I'll leave it at that.

Second, I agree with your point here about digital signals and the ionosphere. Similarly, it's why I'm a great fan of Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM—badly named given its other meaning).

In fact, I'm upset and rather annoyed that it receives so little attention and that it's made so little penetration into HF bands but there's little I can do about it except whinge.

Unfortunately, just because something is good or better doesn't mean it gets adopted (remember VHS won out over Betamax although the latter was better, also Windows versus Linux is another comparable case). If you look at history often technical standards (and improved methods) are adopted after the event. Also, grandfathering technology is commonplace whether we like it or not. I learned this years ago when sitting on several preparatory committees for WARC/WRC and also when involved with television standards for industrial work. Things that make obvious sense technically often don't get up because of political and economic considerations—and stubbornness by those with entrenched views. It's a big problem (arguments over standards are common, are often heated, and invariably messy—and often the outcomes end up overly compromised).

That brings me back to my earlier point about AM, other systems are better but other factors stop them from being universally adopted.
This is huge for indie game developers! They can voice every line of dialogue for every character themselves (or with just 1 professional voice actor).

Text-to-speech AI voice generators exist, but you don't have fine control over the emotion/expressiveness/intonation of the lines like you do with this approach.
Wikipedia does actually bring them up as a type of bollard. They don't really fit in with the origin of bollards though, which were to moor ships to.

I think that "soft bollards" are made to look like bollards because most people assume that a bollard is a rigid structure and as such treat them in that manner. It's basically just an elaborate traffic cone. A sign is to a "soft bollard" as a "soft bollard" is to a bollard.
That's scary. Perhaps they only block if you try to access the sites regularly?? I wouldn't think my ISP matters (Telia, which one you're on?) but that's possible too.
In country with decent civil engineering, we have soft bollards. It will still make a bike fall, but falling on it isn't life threatening.

You can also twist the bollard when you are bored.
The downside is that it probably doesn't stop a car with enough speed.

No it's anytime you use your device. The stores can push silent updates and change your apps or access anything at any point.

The only exception I'm aware of is GrapheneOS where that's not possible. Otherwise if you are using iOS or any other Android rom than GrapheneOS, you are vulnerable to that.

Ansible is definitely requiring constant lookup in the documentation.

I've found a pretty good workflow with using ansible-doc though, with two-three aliases that I use constantly:

alias adl='ansible-doc --list'
alias adls='ansible-doc --list | less -S'
alias ad='ansible-doc'

Then I'll:

1. Use adls to quickly search (in less with vim bindings) for relevant commands,

2. Check up the docs with `ad <command>`.

3. Almost always immediately jump to the end (`G`) to see the examples, which typically provides a direct answer to what I need.

Since authoring Ansible scripts is so dependent on the docs, I think they really should make this process work better out of the box though, providing some interface to do these lookups quicker without a lot of custom aliases.
> How many milliDems are contained in each bomb you drop on Serbia, Iraq, or Gaza?

Yes exactly.

Without the US involvement, instead of getting democracies, you get ethnic squabbles or regional powers involved.

You are just new to the anarchic nature of state-level politics.

These conflicts are inevitable, its up to the United States to tilt them in the direction of human rights. Historically its true.

(And its not like the morally poor side in Serbia, Iraq, or Gaza has the moral high ground when the US gets involved. )

Anyway, really cool hipster take that Europe and their 1000 year old ethnic rivalries would have navigated any of these better. Maybe for their own realpolitk self interest. How is that more moral than democracies?

Gateway to Hell': Turkmenistan urged to plug gas leaks driving climate change
> But the resources spend on both running the sports betting systems and on producing Titanic are gone. Those work hours of those thousands of professionals that worked on Titanic don't come back. They are a cost, not a benefit.

Isn't velocity of money a question in this though? The spending on producing Titanic pours the money into pockets (workers and businesses) who will spend it faster into the larger economy (consumption/hiring others to do projects) than what the sports betting company will, the spending from the wages of those workers will, on average, be more diluted into other productive means which will support other businesses and workers. In my view this is a more beneficial way for society than the accumulation of the same capital into a sports betting company, while betting has many more negative impact to society (addiction, for example) than watching Titanic has.

Funny to see myself being downvoted for a harmless call for a reason, so, few more comments:

The fact someone did something and put a substantial effort into it is not a reason good enough to justify said effort (other than the benefits of learrning) and the product that was created. The world is full of things which actually made it worse place.

Another comment is actually a meta-comment and might be shocking to some people here:

downvoting is not a good method of making someone stop saying statements perceived by some as unconfortable. In fact, there is nothing wrong with earning points first and then burning them with saying comments that are feared by certain individuals to the level that they "must" be downvoted...

Does hiring someone whose native script is “right-to-left” make a difference to the product though?

On the one hand, there are people who deeply understand the technical intricacies of Unicode BiDi yet can’t actually read Arabic or Hebrew

On the other hand, if the business doesn’t view Arabic markets (or Israel) as viable to pursue, it doesn’t matter how much you are aware of those languages, it is irrelevant to the product

And what about backend developer roles, where UI concerns like BiDi are largely a non-issue?

No. But that doesn't really fit since þ had mostly died out by the 1300s, with only few remaining uses by Caxton's printing - long before the 1800s.

> The assumption that most people make is that these models can answer questions or chat with you, but in reality all they can do is take some text you provide as input and guess what the next word (or more accurately, the next token) is going to be.

These two things cannot be compared or contrasted. It's very common to see people write something like "LLMs don't actually do <thing they obviously actually do>, they just do <dismissive description of the same thing>."

Typically, like here, the dismissive description just ignores the problem of why it manages to write complete novel sentences when it's only "guessing" subword tokens, why those sentences appear to be related to the question you asked, and why they are in the form of an answer to your question instead of another question (which is what base models would do).

It is only one old C codebase however (or a couple if one counts the *BSD semi-forks separately) instead of many different fresh c codebases (one per compositor with some shared code between some of them to be fair). I don't buy that this is actually better for security. It is a lot of more fun/less painful than cleaning up and improving some legacy codebase however.
Show HN: Kleio – self-hosted ad server
Hi HNers,

At my day job we were using a commercial ad server. It was quite good, but also incredibly expensive, and even though it is hosted fairly close to our data center it was also quite slow (speed of light, etc etc).

I decided to take a stab at building my own, and this attempt is what you can find under the name of Kleio.

It's an ad server that is focused on letting you add support for sponsored products to your product. It's not well-suited for classic banner ads, or if you want to connect to a third-party ad exchange or anything of that kind. So a typical user of Kleio would be a company either with a storefront where they sell products and want to give the suppliers a chance to highlight their product, a job listing site, or any other type of classifieds site.

My goal with Kleio is to make something that's conceptually simple, and incredibly fast (I am trying to get all auctions to complete in less than 1 ms and since you host it yourself, network latencies also become less of an issue).

I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Both on the product itself (that would be grand!) and also on the positioning, feature set, ease of use, etc.

You can find a quickstart guide at [1], and a list of cases it's well suited for and which it's not a good fit for here [2].

> I guess what I'm trying to get at in this strange ramble is that ultimately DEI should be focused on diversity of thought, and not just superficial characteristics, yet it never works out that way.

I think you're missing the point of DEI. The advertised purpose of DEI is to counteract racism. It's easy to be sympathetic to that objective if you look at recent history. For example, watch a movie made in the US as recently as the year 1990, and you'll see a stark under-representation of anyone Black. It's hard to chalk that up to different education levels, because it's not like acting requires formal education. Let's face it, it was racism. And this racism pervaded every industry, having inter-generational effects that compounded over time. The idea of DEI therefore is to act as an opposing force.

My main problem with DEI is it's corrosive to the social fabric. To constantly remind people of ethnicity is not a good idea. It should not be front of mind all the time. A shared civic identity should be front and center. There's also an anti-egalitarian anti-individual aspect to DEI thinking that I dislike. And the third thing that puts me off about DEI is the people who run these programs seem to be over-represented by ideological extremists and racists. Black supremacism type ideas are tolerated in these circles when they should be resolutely discarded as ethnonationalist nonsense. It is hard to fully support it until they purge themselves of such personalities.

Okay but the difference is that being a mediocre athlete or musician means that you're unemployed, whereas you can be a totally mediocre programmer and make well into the 6 figures. My friends who are professional musicians know far more about their craft than even the most motivated engineers I've worked with, and they make less money than the worst paid engineers I've met. I've casually played guitar for almost 20 years and been programming less than half that time ane I can't even think about going pro without a massive dedicated effort.
It's openssf… All of their posts are basically "install our github action, get our scorecard!". Which I personally think is completely useless.

When buying a new keyboard I look at a few things such as funny placements for keys, as well as the position of the F4 key in relation to the numbers below it.

I tend to use Ctrl-F4 quite a lot and I do it by pressing the heel of my left pinky into Ctrl and then pushing F4 with my left index finger.

On some keyboards they like to move the F keys over to right for some reason (ie. past numeric 5) and then the distance becomes too much.
I'm pretty sure you're right on that last bit, but I don't think that wouldn't be reflecting the reality in UK or Spain, either. People are generally pretty quick to get into an "us vs them" mode when threatened, and, once there, will come up with increasingly ludicrous justifications even for the nastiest stuff.

And yes, in Israel right now it's probably somewhat affected by social (and sometimes legal) consequences of dissent... but those very social consequences are in and of themselves indicative of supermajority support. Point being, even if it is, say, 65% rather than 80%, that still means that opposition has no power, and so nothing is really in its hands at the moment.
To expand on verst's answer, the altimeter setting is defined based on your location, to roughly match meteorological conditions. When flying IFR or otherwise directed by ATC, you will be given altimeter settings. They will also be repeated during arrival and landing. In addition, they are given using an automated weather service called ATIS. ATIS broadcasts are given an incremental letter, that way you can verify you have the latest update. When checking in with a controller you will give the letter, and they will tell you if you're outdated.

The most important thing is that everyone in an area reference the same altitude/altimeter setting for traffic avoidance. Whether or not that is off from the actual altitude by a few hundred feet or not is secondary, since ground avoidance typically uses a lot bigger safety margins. Airliners and military planes have radar altimeters to measure height above ground when flying in IMC (low vis), while smaller planes typically fly VFR (based on visual rather than instruments).
